Kakashi looked over his new genin squad curiously as they sat on the roof, soaking up the sunshine. To say they were not what he expected upon reading their files would be something of an understatement.

First was the simple fact that Sasuke was wearing a duck bill, and dressed in a dark purple double breasted coat and red lined cape, with white shorts and yellowish orange shoes coming up to his knees below that. The bright gold buttons on the front and cuffs of the coat matched his boots and bill at least. The nearly black wide brimmed hat just seemed to add to the absurdity of the outfit.

Then there was, Sakura who was fiddling with some machine in her lap. Her long pink hair was pulled back by what appeared to be mouse ears and a pair of purple goggles that stuck up out of her hair. She had a purple jumpsuit with the lapelled to open to reveal a white undershirt, and the arms rolled up past her elbows. Out the back there was a tail that he hoped was fake, but the twitching and squirming limited that to wishful thinking, it might be a chakra animated one, and the dark purple belt just drew the chakra for it, while holding it in place.

Finally he looked over at Naruto, who was eating something that looked like ramen, and smelled like this weird dish he'd seen on a mission called pizza. He... was possibly the hardest one to figure out. His entire body was died some shade of green, he wore what looked like a turtle shell for an oufit, and on his knees, wrists, and elbows were orange cloth wraps. Around his mid-section was a dark blue belt with a large orange 'N' on the buckle, around his head was an orange band of cloth, which went over his eyes like it was supposed to be a mask or something. Sticking out of the belt was about the only thing that Kakashi approved of; apparently Naruto had decided to use the nunchucks as a weapon for close in fighting.

All said and done, he figured the group would last maybe a week before quitting, if they graduated at all that is. Well he might as well get started. "Maaa... let's start with introductions... I'm Hatake Kakashi... and I think that's all we need to know."

Pointing to where Sasuke had been, he blinked, seeing the Uchiha missing. A moment later a plume of purple smoke erupted and Sasuke's voice spoke up. "I am the terror that flaps in the night... I am the boot that stomps out the weasels of injustice... I AM DARKWING DUCK!" Sasuke proudly proclaimed as the smoke dissipated, meeting Kakashi's dry look with a beaming proud look of his own.

"Right... moving on, pinky you're up..." Kakashi decided to keep moving, before he started debating which mental hospital to stick the Uchiha into, he'd obviously spent WAY too long alone.

Sakura looked up curiously, setting her device to the side. A second later something shot out of it, passing through a telephone pole before careening on its merry way. Sakura looked at its course with a slight blush. "Golly... that wasn't supposed to happen..."

Clearing his throat, he brought her back to the conversation at hand. "Oh right! Sorry, I'm Haruno Sakura, inventor extraordinaire and apprentice of the one and only Gadget Hackwrench... Umm... Golly, I don't know what else to say... except I'm sorry about my kunai shooter... it wasn't supposed to trigger like that... maybe if I..."

Kakashi stopped listening as she began going on and on about technical details he didn't really care about. He figured he'd have to meet this Gadget person to try and get the details of Sakura's training. Instead he just sighed and pointed to Naruto. "And now you..."

Naruto finished up a mouthful of the odd smelling ramen and smiled. "Yo, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and Master Splinter has taught me the way of being a ninja turtle! He also introduced me to the wonderful pizza, which I improved on by combining it with ramen to make Ramza! It's totally righteous! Want some?"

"No... you go ahead..." Kakashi answered waving him to continue.

"COWABUNGA!" Naruto shouted before proceeding doing things to the Ramza that Kakashi would have considered very obscene. Turning around he was about to leave when he met eye to eye with a five foot tall rat in a purple gi holding himself up with a gnarled length of wood that served as a cane. On top of the cane was a little mouse with long blonde hair that looked almost identical to Sakura otherwise, and a duck that looked like a white feathered version of Sasuke. He was pretty sure these were the former masters of his new pupils, but for now he had something more important to attend to. "Tell them to be at training grounds seven at ten tomorrow... I'm going to go get the Hokage to kill me, bye..."

And with that he teleported away in a swirl of leave; heading for the Hokage tower. He was going to take Sarutobi's pipe and use it to set fire to his entire collection of Icha Icha. If that didn't work, he'd then break the damn pipe over his head. The only way he was going to leave that tower was as a pile of ashes!
